Anthropic's frequent Opus cadence, including the July 24 release of Opus 5 and September 1 launch of Fable 5.1, combined with unconfirmed rumors of an Opus 5.2 variant this week or by month-end, drives the tight clustering of Polymarket probabilities around September 22–29. Traders weigh the lab's history of 3–6 week intervals between major updates against the absence of official announcements or system cards, while competitive pressure from OpenAI and Google model timelines adds uncertainty. Recent platform integrations and safety-focused updates have not yet signaled a new flagship Opus, leaving resolution dependent on any imminent benchmark leaks or API identifiers that could shift the current 82% implied chance of a release near September 24.

Claude Opus refers to a model by Anthropic explicitly named Opus. Qualifying models include Claude Opus 5.1, Claude Opus 5.5, Opus 6, or any other Opus variants released after market creation. Models under any other name, such as Sonnet, Haiku, Fable, or Mythos, will not qualify, unless the model is explicitly and officially named Opus by Anthropic. Claude Opus 5, released on July 24, 2026, and any snapshot, rollout, or re-release of it will not qualify.
A qualifying model must be launched and publicly accessible, including via open beta or open rolling waitlist signups. A closed beta or any form of private access will not suffice. The release must be either clearly defined and publicly announced by Anthropic as being accessible to the general public or otherwise made publicly accessible and explicitly labeled within the company’s official website. Labeling errors, placeholder text, or version names displayed on the website that do not correspond to a model that is actually accessible to the general public will not qualify.
The primary resolution source for this market will be official information from Anthropic, with additional verification from a consensus of credible reporting.
